Hi people,
I'm new to overclocking and i don't like to do things i'm not sure of, so i wanted to to test my system on default settings and i noticed some discrepancies...
Hope some people here can clarify some information i got for me. I don't want to overclock it to the max, but just to tweak it a bit to get the best performance / power consumption / durability ratio ...
Just upgraded my PC to:
Mobo : Strix x99 gaming
cpu: intel 6800k 2011v3
ram: corsair vengeance lpx 16 ddr4266hrz 32GB(2x16)
ssd: samsung 850 evo v-nand
gpu: asus strix GTX 1070 O8G Gaming, driver 378.49 v.bios 86.04.50.00.as01
Corsair H55 water cooling, (might upgrade if needed)
to monitor my statistics i run:
- cpu-z ver.1.178.1
- gpu-z rog edition ver.1.16.0
- asus gpu tweak 2 ver.1.3.2.2
benchmark (to start with)
-unigine heaven 4.0 dx11
so the first thing in noticed in GPU tweak is that the
GPU clock, MHz is set to Min 696/Max 696 MHz (can't change it)
which contradicts the GPU-z information
GPU core clock between +/- 1000 MHz and 1600 MHz
GPU memory clock +/- 2000 MHz
the second was in the test results
Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0
FPS:
90.2
Score:
2273
Min FPS:
30.0
Max FPS:
190.6
System
Platform:
Windows NT 6.2 (build 9200) 64bit
CPU model:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6800K CPU @ 3.40GHz (3397MHz) x6
GPU model:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 21.21.13.7849 (4095MB) x1 <<<<<<<<<<
Settings

Tessellation:

it states that my GPU has 4095 of memory ? but the GPU has 8GB ??? is this something like dual channel 4GB twice the speed?
the other thing is that the "User define setting" of the fan speed control (GPU Tweak 2) is set to 0<100 C at the 0% line and can't change that? right click... dragging... does not work..
any help would be much appreciated,
Kind regards
